I’m experiencing a persistent **504 Gateway Time-out** error, specifically when trying to access the **Edit** page. All other parts of Write.as (viewing posts, dashboard, etc.) are working perfectly fine, but I cannot enter the editor at all.

I was using a **VPN** and frequently navigating in and out of the Edit page before this started.

I have already tested this on a **different laptop** and a different network and browser (without VPN), but the error persists.

It seems like my account or session might be stuck or flagged on the server side.

**Error Message:** `504 Gateway Time-out / nginx/1.18.0 (Ubuntu)`

Could you please check if there’s a hung process or a temporary IP/account block affecting my access to the editor?

I think the site is having bigger problems. I can log in but attempts to post a new blog entry errors out: `Failed to post. Please try again. (404)`
